When the Soul Longs for God
Oct 18 2026
Psalm 119:81-88
81 My soul longs for your salvation;
I hope in your word.
82 My eyes long for your promise;
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
84 wHow long must your servant endure?1
When will you judge those who persecute me?
85 The insolent have xdug pitfalls for me;
they do not live according to your law.
86 All your commandments are sure;
they persecute me with falsehood; yhelp me!
87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 In your steadfast love give me life,
that I may keep the testimonies of your mouth.
